Friday Night Features: “Smile” Short Film

Darlings, I know I’ve left you without a new horror short for the last two weeks, but it’s Friday and I’m back with a full measure of horrific weirdness with tonight’s feature, Smile. Created by Yuval Markovich and Noam Abta in 2005 as a student film at Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design in Israel, the film intersperses stylized, computer-generated animation and live-action with video and images, creating a sense of distorted unreality and deepening horror. Equal parts creepy and bizarre, this one is worth a watch. Enjoy!
